Sometimes I find myself at the end of my rope. Sometimes I don't know what else to do. Sometimes I fuss and discipline when maybe I shouldn't. Sometimes I'm not perfect.
Honey, I love you so much. You bring so much joy to our family. God designed us perfectly for each other. He took almost 28 years to prepare me to be YOUR mama. Sometimes I fail you both, but I sure do try hard.
It's okay that you had three accidents yesterday, despite being offered the potty each.and.every time. It's okay that you didn't make any tee-tee for over eight hours today. I was frustrated yesterday when you made an accident in your friend's room. I was worried today when you wouldn't tee-tee for her.
I really and truly know that you won't wear diapers to kindergarten. I wouldn't push this if you hadn't asked for big girl underpants. I KNOW you can do this. I love your big smile when you do use the potty. I love giving you suckers when you poop in the potty. I love hearing your sweet voice say, "Mommy, I got to make potty!"
And truthfully, no matter how tired, frustrated, upset I get...how could I stay that way when I see this sweet face?
Or this one...where you look JUST LIKE YOUR DADDY????
Oh, sweetie. It doesn't matter, really. You are my girl. I love you, accidents, whys, millions of no's...I love you.Love,
Your imperfect mommy

Awww. She's such a cutie. And she'll get the potty thing in time.
What a sweet post, Nat! She will get it in time...she really will. Believe me I KNOW how frustrating it is...sometimes it seems like motherhood is all about hurry up and wait!
Oh I feel your pain, every little last bit of it.
Love and virtual hugs from this imperfect mama.
